Tight race, small population give Iowa a front-row seat view story

JAKE THOMPSON - - Omaha World-Herald
| If prime seating on the presidential nominating convention floor shows the love, Republicans are just as high on Iowans as the Democrats were at their convention in July.
In Boston, the Democrats placed their Iowa delegation in front of their main podium. The Republicans meeting here in New York City have parked their Iowa delegates just to the left of their main stage, a place of honor as well.
The reason is that Iowa's seven electoral votes loom large for the campaigns of President Bush and his Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
